Normani POV

The past month and a half have been crazy to say the least. After Christmas and New Years, Y/n and I finally took our girls home and started getting into our daily routine that now included them. The twins were the most easygoing babies I'd ever met. They only cried when they were hungry, they sleep almost all the way through the night, and they eat very well. Both are healthy and thriving, which I'm forever grateful for.

Mornings with them were Y/n's favorite thing. She always insisted that I slept in to rest, made us both breakfast and the twins their bottles. I can't imagine what it would be like without her here to help me. Watching her take care of us three is so beautiful to see and makes her even more attractive than before.

While we split duties during the day, I usually take the evenings with Noah and Nyla while Y/n makes dinner. Bath time is Noah's favorite time. She's very active and vocal, so she loves splashing her arms around in the water and babbles a lot in the tub. Nyla, on the other hand, is very calm and quiet. It's like she sees her bath time as a spa retreat, but she takes after me in that aspect.

I had just put both babies down for the night after breastfeeding and giving them their bath, when Y/n comes back home with dinner. Today we opted for takeout from Y/n's favorite taco place.

"Hey baby. They finally had the agua frescas again, so I got the strawberry and the mango pineapple one." she placed the food down after kissing my lips. I sat down at the island as she passed out the food.

"That's perfect, I was gonna ask you to pick up something to drink on your way home." I took a bite of my birria taco and then a bite of Y/n's shrimp taco.

"You not even discreet with eating my food anymore." Y/n chuckled.

"You were gonna offer me a bite anyways!" I said with a mouthful of food.

"True."

"Here," I offer her a piece of mine and she takes a big ass bite. "You a greedy ass woman, you know that?"

"I take pride in it." she replies, making me laugh. I wipe the consumé off of her chin before she continues. "You know what next week is right?"

"...No. Is it somebody's birthday?"

"No! Well actually it is Megan's birthday next week, but that's not what I meant."

"I can't believe it's February already. It seems like just yesterday it was December 21st." I rest my head in my hand, sifting through the weeks worth of memories we've made with the twins already.

"I know, time really has flown. But that's okay because next week is Valentine's Day! And I have something planned for the both of us." Y/n wiggles her eyebrows suggestively.

"I'm intrigued, this sounds like a trip or something." I raise my eyebrow suspiciously.

"It is, just a mini one though." She took a sip of her drink before she continued. "And before you ask 'What about the babies?'—"

"I do not talk like that." I laughed.

"Yes, you do you just did! Anyways, Megan wanted us to come with her and Amala to Japan for her birthday from the 13th to the 16th. Bey will be there since Megan convinced her to come out the house somehow. She offered to watch them for us on Valentine's Day so we have the day to ourselves."

"Okay, but they need passports and stuff."

"Baby," she pulled the twins' passports out of her pocket with a huge grin. "do you know who your wife is?"

"My wife is a badass obviously. I can't wait to see what you have planned. I haven't been to Japan since I was in Fifth Harmony." I smiled and finished my last taco.
